Microsoft and The Coalition announced at E3 2018 Gears 5, Gears Pop and Gears Tactics. The first two games appeared at E3 2019, however, the last game was nowhere to be seen.
Gears of War producer Rod Fergusson speaking with Kotaku revealed Gears Tactics is still in development and more information on the game will be released later.
"Last year we wanted to really talk about all three games and show that Microsoft is tripling down on the Gears of War franchise, but now that we’ve had that we’re really trying to make sure it’s not always this three-pack… We’ll talk about Gears Tactics later."
Gears 5 will launch for Xbox One and PC on September 10.

What he means is "Development is not going as well as we'd hoped. What we have now sucks. We hope you'll forget about it, so we can cancel it if we can't make something good happen with it soon."
No, I think MS is pretty honest about cancelling games. I'd guess a 2020 release.
Has protential. Xcom styje games are quite fun and rewarding
Wasn't there a mobile Gears game also? Idk if it came out or not, but i remember them announcing the 3 Gears games last E3
This has always been my issue with MS. They get a good franchise and then just run it into the ground with release after release and then doing spin off type stuff like this with the same franchise. Why not make a game like this completely unrelated to GOW? It's like they are afraid to take chances.
I am not sure that is a reasonable takeaway from Gears of War. The first game launched in 2006 under a partnership with Epic. Since then there have been 5 games in 13 years. Since MS outright bought the franchise 5 years ago they have released one game (Gears 4) and released a beta for Gears Pop. Gears Pop is substantially different to mainline Gears, and on an entirely different platform. Gears Tactics is on the same platform, but no one can pretend its not a totally different type of game.
Its a franchise not a 1 hit wonder. Its like Star Wars, fans of Star Wars want to see more Star Wars, they dont want to see LucusFilms Disney stop making them for something else. I want to see more Halo, i dont want another IP to take its place. Same goes for Gears etc.
